Why I Treat Children

I believe every child deserves the best start possible. I love breaking down barriers, allowing children to achieve their goals by improving their vision.

What I'm Passionate About

I’m passionate about helping children achieve what they want in life. 

How I Try to Make A Difference

I recognize every child as an individual and advocate for their needs. I have a low vision clinic to help children with visual impairment have the tools to succeed in school, sports and other activities.
